One of the worst service departments I’ve ever been to as far as professionalism should maybe treat your customers a little bit better and stop being rude More

Broke my suspension, basically refused me from driving because of it and gave a discount on replacement but the price was still much more expensive than other quotes. Ended up having to cancel and receive More

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re very sorry for the frustration and disruption this situation caused, including the missed work and appointment. We understand how stressful it is when a vehicle is unexpectedly unsafe to drive and alternate transportation is required. Safety is our top priority, and when a vehicle is deemed unsafe to operate, we will not allow it to be driven. That said, we regret that the situation was not handled or communicated in a way that left you feeling unsupported. The inconvenience you described, including transportation costs and missed commitments—is not something we take lightly. Please contact Josephin Easter at Jeaste@group1auto.com or call 512-458-2222 x1355, if you would like to discuss this further. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Group 1 Toyota North Austin responded

Dear Valued Guest,   Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the extended wait time during your recent oil change visit, especially since you had a scheduled appointment. A 2.5‑hour service time for a routine oil change is unacceptable, and we understand how frustrating that must have been. We are particularly concerned to hear that this has not been your first experience with excessive wait times. This clearly does not reflect the level of efficiency and respect for our customers’ time that we strive to provide. While our dealership is currently undergoing construction, this should never compromise cleanliness or professionalism. Your comments regarding the condition of the service area are taken very seriously, as maintaining a clean and welcoming environment is a basic expectation. Additionally, we regret that your interaction with our service advisors did not meet our standards. Attentive, courteous service is non‑negotiable, and we are addressing these concerns directly with our team. Please be assured that your feedback has been shared with our service management, and we are taking steps to improve scheduling accuracy, service flow, and staff accountability to prevent this from happening again. We truly value your business and appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. If you would be willing, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further and restore your confidence in our service department. Please feel free to contact me directly, Josie Easter (Service Customer Relations) at Jeaster@group1auto.com or call me at 512-458-2222 x1355. Thank you again for your honesty, and we hope to serve you better in the future.

Made appointment for oil change days ahead. Arrived 15 minutes before the appointment time 10:30 am on Monday March 16, 2026. It took them 3 hours to do the just oil change. This is not my first time. Last oil change took 2:30 hours. One before that took 2 hours. When I told told to my friends they recommended Toyota of Ceder Park. Guss what i am taking the my next oil change, break fluid change, coolant change and fuel system clean to somewhere else. Do not go this place. The waiting are is dirty. Bad attitude of too many lazy service advisors.
